Exceptional Renovation of an 18th Century Stone Catalan Mas, Bright and …

Property Description

This superb 18th century Catalan mas is in a quiet and private location, overlooking the hills of the Vallespir, in the Languedoc-Roussillon region of the South of France, Occitanie.  It is an outstanding example of a recent renovation of this type of local building. Using the highest quality of materials and acute attention to detail, the property has a feeling of freshness, but with deep respect to local techniques and traditional materials, with terracotta floor tiles throughout and solid wood doors, shutters and windows, underfloor heating with cooling down for the summer etc.  The 9 ensuite bedrooms are laid out in a thoughtful way that allows the property to be used either as a luxury retreat for the family or as a commercial venture, with separate space for guests or staff. The ancient barn converted into a great hall could equally be used for parties, a yoga room, or meeting room for any type of themed activity. Outside there are two outbuildings that can be renovated for additional space for activities. Further a swimming pool will be allowed to be built subject to supply the project upfront to the townhall.Description of the Building
